They are eligible to apply for $250 grants to further aerospace education, and for free STEM kits (robotics, RC aircraft, flight simulators and more).

Complimentary airplane flights in CAP aircraft will be scheduled near the end of the school year.

Aerospace Education Members join for a one-time fee of $35 and are not required to attend meetings or wear uniforms — only to promote aerospace education through the use of the many free K-12 materials.

All public, private and homeschool educators are welcome to attend the open house to view curriculum materials, tour the CAP facility, try a flight simulator station, enjoy refreshments and register for door prizes, including a 3D Solar System model.

I've worked at the Brainerd Dispatch with various duties since Dec. 7, 1983. Starting off as an Ad Designer and currently Director of Audience Development. The Dispatch has been an interesting and challenging place to work. I'm fortunate to have made many friends, both co-workers and customers.
